"This handover is a perfect example of what can happen when we all work together with one common goal: helping a new generation of children grow up healthy and educated," said WFP Executive Director David Beasley.
WFP has been working in Laos for the last 45 years. Following the adoption of the Lao Government's National Policy on Promoting School Lunch in 2017, WFP started to shift its focus from implementing the School Meals Program to building the capacity of the government and communities. The goal is to hand over the entire program by 2021.
Starting from the new school year in September, the Lao government will support the Program in 800 schools, including 515 of them handed over by WFP, disbursing 0.10 U.S. dollars (LAK 800) per child per day. WFP will provide continued technical support to ensure sustainability and strengthen local ownership, including installation of school water, sanitation and hygiene facilities, setting up school gardens, community green houses and fish ponds.
